Thoughts about PRIDE...

Sometimes we need to accept the fact that there were things which we need to sacrifice in order for us to grow with love and peace of mind.

Just like the word “PRIDE”. Of the entire attitude a person must possess, “PRIDE” is the most complicated one.

We often neglect HUMILITY for we let our pride dominates us.

FORGIVENESS is ignored; it is still because of the never ending PRIDE we have.

We believe we are hurt so we close our ears as if we are deaf, our eyes as if we are blind and sometimes we prefer to be silent; still because of pride.

We always think we are vindicated, that we are on the right-side not knowing that it is pride alone who squeezes and break our hearts into pieces.

Pride can shatter FRIENDSHIP, TRUST and even LOVE.

Sometimes we wanted to cry because we are hurt of the things happening to us but instead of crying, we tend to avert our emotions. There are times tears will really fall down from your face without noticing it… without any permission to yourself… it just fall silently.

And you know what, the saddest part is we can’t accept the fact that we are now crying. We tend to find so many other reasons to convince ourselves and even other people that it was not our intention to cry… that he/she was not the real reason why we cry. All of that is because of PRIDE.

If only we can forget about our pride, though it’s hard, hard as a stone on high mountains, then, we could possibly live a harmonious life together with our loved ones and to the people who are dearest and closest to our hearts.

Without pride, we learn to forgive… we learn to lend our ears and open up our eyes to someone we’ve closed our doors to. We’ll learn to be humble, to reach each others differences and accept the person for whom he/she really is.

PRIDE is nothing compared to LOVE.
